Don't Flush Your Medications!
by monkk
Medications and personal care products are being detected in rivers, waterways, and groundwater. Wastewater treatment facilities are not equipped to filter out these chemicals, so they are showing up in drinking water. Please don't flush expired or unnecessary medications! In order to protect our families and the environment, we must ensure that medications and personal care products are properly handled, stored and disposed. The Pharmaceutical Take-Back Program allows Washtenaw County residents to take back their old, unwanted medications to a pharmacy to be properly disposed. In compliance with the Controlled Substance Act (CSA), enforced by the Drug Enforcement Administration, this program DOES NOT ACCEPT any controlled/scheduled drugs. The "Big Red Barrel" program is a partnership with local law enforcement agencies. You can dispose of prescription or over-the-counter pills, INCLUDING controlled substances like OxyContin, Vicodin and Percocet. You can find the list of Pharmaceutical Take-Back and Big Red Barrel sites here.

National "Ask" Day - June 21
by iralax
The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office is holding their annual Gun Safety Week from June 20-25. This week was chosen because June 21 is National “Ask” Day (“Asking Saves Kids”) which encourages parents to help prevent gun injuries and deaths to our children by asking relatives, friends, and neighbors where families and children visit and play if guns are in the home, and if so, are they secured safely so that they cannot be accessed by children or young people. The Sheriff’s Dept. has information available about gun safety and free gun safety locks available. Call 734-973-4613 to find out more.
